ActBlue fundraising erupts after Sanders' win

Democratic donations through ActBlue, the online fundraising service used by Bernie Sanders and many other Democratic candidates and committees, skyrocketed Tuesday night after Sanders won New Hampshire.

Online donors gave more than $550,000 to Democratic groups in about an hour between 8:45 p.m. and 9:45 p.m., according to the counter on the front page of ActBlue's website. That includes nearly a quarter-million dollars that flowed through ActBlue during Sanders' victory speech.

There is no way of telling how that money was divided, but Sanders surely sparked the surge — the counter rose particularly quickly as he called for "a fundraiser right here, right now" in his speech.
